Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2019-04-25 09:25:25] mail at cebe dot cc Description: ------------ when working on a date parsed from calendar week from the pattern {YYYY}W{WW}, e.g. "2019W16" strtotime returns the date of Monday in the calendar week 16 in the year 2019, which is 2019-04-15. When this is combinated with a "next <weekday>" e.g. "2019W16 next friday", the result is one off, in this case 2019-04-18, which is Thursday of that week, not Friday. Giving "2019-04-15 next friday" gives the correct date: 2019-04-19. According to my test script, this is broken since PHP 5.2, while working fine in 5.1: https://3v4l.org/0s4Ns Test script: --------------- <?php // see also https://3v4l.org/0s4Ns if (function_exists('date_default_timezone_set')) date_default_timezone_set("UTC"); echo "works as expected:\n"; echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("2019W14")) . " should be 2019-04-01\n"; echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("2019W15")) . " should be 2019-04-08\n"; echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("2019W16")) . " should be 2019-04-15\n\n"; echo "off by one:\n"; echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("2019W16 next tuesday")) . " should be 2019-04-16\n"; echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("2019W16 next wednesday")) . " should be 2019-04-17\n"; echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("2019W16 next thursday")) . " should be 2019-04-18\n"; echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("2019W16 next friday")) . " should be 2019-04-19\n"; echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("2019W16 next saturday")) . " should be 2019-04-20\n"; echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("2019W16 next sunday")) . " should be 2019-04-21\n"; echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("2019W16 next monday")) . " should be 2019-04-22\n\n"; echo "works as expected:\n"; echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("2019-04-15 next monday")) .
